RALLY START
 
Michelin star
Central Park
Voorburg | NL

"The stately national monument that houses Central Park is quite a sight to behold. Luxury is the name of the game here, but there's nothing stuffy about this place. Traditional cooking techniques and intense sauces make for wonderfully crisp and vibrant culinary creations. Clever new twists produce surprising results. The earthy, sweet and sour nuances of beetroot combined with fresh blackberries, foie gras and a robust jus with sweet notes of sherry form the perfect accompaniment to duck cooked on the carcass. Come here for no-nonsense cuisine packed with subtle yet pronounced flavours."  - MICHELIN Guide ©

MORNING CHECKPOINT

Latour
Noordwijk aan Zee | NL

"Here you can admire how the beach merges with the North Sea. The colourful rugs, art on the walls and classic furniture all add to Latour's luxurious, elegant feel. Kenny Friederichs infuses this magical place with a contemporary sense of style and energy. He combines exotic influences to enhance classics such as pan-seared sea bass, and even incorporates them into his desserts. With his perfectly cooked IJsselmeer pike-perch accompanied by various textures of leek and a rich smoked herring and horseradish sauce, he managed to silence our inspectors for a moment."  - MICHELIN Guide ©
